Wildfire burning out of control west of Nanaimo, B.C.
Tree branches are seen burning in this image from the BC Wildfire Service (Twitter/@BCGovFireInfo) Two helicopters and one air tanker are battling an out-of-control wildfire discovered Tuesday west of Nanaimo, B.C. The B.C. Wildfire Service says the Labour Day Lake fire, south of the Englishman River, is believed to be caused by human activity. The fire area measured approximately eight hectares at 3 p.m., according to an update from wildfire officials. In addition to the aerial firefighting assets, two ground crews were also attacking the flames on Tuesday afternoon. The fire is currently the only wildfire on Vancouver Island still classified as 'out of control,' after a fire discovered Sunday near Port Alberni was brought under control, according to the wildfire service. That fire, which consumed an estimated 23.5 hectares of forest near Nahmint Mountain, was also likely human-caused, officials said. There were 89 wildfires actively burning in B.C. on Tuesday afternoon, including 47 fires classified as out of control. Among those are an out-of-control blaze near Squamish that prompted the municipality to declare a state of local emergency due to an imminent threat to people and property.

Wildfire officials say more than three-quarters of the active fires in B.C. – including the Pocket Knife Creek blaze – were sparked by lightning, while less than one-quarter were likely caused by human activity.

Hundreds from Sandy Lake evacuate to GTA amid blazing wildfires
Hundreds of Sandy Lake First Nation members have arrived in the Greater Toronto Area to seek refuge as a major wildfire burns near the northwestern Ontario community. Sandy Lake officials issued an evacuation order Saturday after the fire, known as Red Lake 12, was spotted moving northward toward the community. As evacuees continue to be relocated to other parts of Ontario, many are being sent to Mississauga and Toronto. Destiny Rae and her family arrived in Mississauga on Sunday after receiving the evacuation notice. "It was a very scary feeling," she told CBC News Tuesday. "I stepped out of my house and to the left it was blue skies, but surrounded by orange clouds, and then to the right, you could see the fire," said Rae. "To know that it was so close, it was very scary." The fire, which was first reported on May 28, is burning about 6.5 kilometres from the Sandy Lake First Nation community, according to the Ministry of Natural Resources. In an email Tuesday, ministry spokesperson Alison Lake said the fire grew to roughly 158,000 hectares in size last week and remains out of control, but "the fire has experienced minimal growth" since rain showers, fog and high humidity set in Sunday. The Canadian Armed Forces said in an update Tuesday that a CC-130 Hercules aircraft has been airlifting people out of the First Nation, and more than 1,400 people had been evacuated as of 2 p.m. on Tuesday. Rae said she felt sad looking out the military aircraft's small window. "I remember thinking, 'This is my home. This is where I live,'" she said. "I hope when I come back, I want everything to be where it is." Indigenous emergency operations organization, ISN Maskwa, is helping the Sandy Lake evacuees in the GTA. Director of operations Paul Syrette told CBC News on Tuesday that about 370 evacuees have been brought to the area. He said the organization receives the evacuees at the airport, transports them to their hotels, and provides them with food services. "We make them comfortable," said Syrette. "They've come from a situation and a fire in their communities where they didn't have much time to gather up some things and pack up." Canadian military assisting in wildfire evacuations Prime Minister Mark Carney announced Sunday that Canadian Armed Forces troops would help evacuate Sandy Lake. He said Ontario had made a request for federal assistance "in response to rapidly spreading wildfires" in that part of the province. In a statement Monday, Emergency Preparedness and Response Minister Jill Dunlop said all evacuees will be provided comprehensive wraparound services, including health care, education supports, and social services. "Our government will continue to work in co-ordination with the federal government, Indigenous leadership, and the Canadian Armed Forces to ensure safe evacuations for the residents of Sandy Lake First Nation," she said. Dunlop said most evacuees are being hosted in Kapuskasing, Mississauga, Toronto, Niagara, and Cornwall. Meanwhile, FireRanger crews are working with the Sandy Lake First Nation Fire Department to deploy fire protection, including sprinklers and hose lines, fed by pumps throughout the community, according to the Ministry of Natural Resources. Helicopters have been applying aerial suppression when conditions allow, with helicopters and buckets supporting FireRanger crews on the ground, said spokesperson Alison Lake. The Sandy Lake community said in Sunday's update that it was under a phase-one evacuation, focusing on its most vulnerable residents and their families. The next step could be to continue with older children and their families, although many have left, the update says. It's unclear how many residents are still in the community of more than 2,000 people.

House ablaze in northwest Calgary; fire department calls in Springbank, RVC for help
A northwest Calgary house has been destroyed by fire, and a lack of water made it harder to contain the flames. A northwest Calgary house has been destroyed by fire, and a lack of water made it harder to contain the flames. Tuesday's fire sparked in the 0-100 block of Bowdale Crescent N.W. The fire department noted its proximity to 16 Avenue N.W. and Sarcee Trail N.W. The fire department, called in shortly after 2 p.m., asked for assistance from Springbank and Rocky View County because of a lack of water access in the area. EMS says it was called in around 2:15 p.m. Its crews remained on standby. At that point, there had been no injuries reported. On social media, the fire department posted, 'This is the second two-alarm fire this week, and it's a reminder of just how demanding and unpredictable this work can be. We're asking all Calgarians to give fire crews space to work safely and take caution in the area. Please avoid the scene if possible—your support helps us get the job done safely and efficiently.' As of 3:30 p.m., operations to deal with the fire continued.
